## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi can I use this over a painted cabnet door as a sealer ?  After  painting I realized I NEEDED to seal.  With the reviews of this product I hope I'm**
A: I have used it on unfinished wood, stained wood and wood painted a light color so that it wouldn't yellow and it would be protected from spills and stains.  You most certainly could use it on a painted cabinet door.  I would do 2 to 3 coats, with a very, very light sanding with 320 between coats.  Do not sand the cabinet door before you put on the first coat.

**Q: does it get yellow?**
A: I use it all the time and it has never yellowed on any light or white colored furniture that I have used it on. It’s my go to!

**Q: Is the flat finish really flat?**
A: HelloIf you take sheen on a scale of 1-100,  the flat will have a sheen of 10, versus the satin, that has a sheen of 35.Have a great dayWoodworkers Hardware

**Q: Can this be used outside over chalk paint?**
A: I've used it lots of times over chalk paint and it looks gorgeous.  My favorite is to use a super fine sandpaper (1600 or more) after 3 coats before the final coat.  Makes it feel incredibly smooth.
